Airtac B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC40010AC1WK
The AirTAC B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC40010AC1WK is a genuine G-series two-unit air-preparation set: a filter regulator that filters and regulates in one body, coupled to a lubricator. Two bodies do the work of three, with PT3/8" ports, a 5 µm element, a automatic drain and regulation over 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).

About the Airtac B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC40010AC1WK
The AirTAC GFC two-unit set pairs a filter regulator with a lubricator, so filtration, pressure regulation and oil-mist lubrication are covered by one matched package on a compressed-air line. This GFC40010AC1WK is the size 400 frame with a 3/8 in PT port. The filter section runs a 5 um element (the W grade) with an automatic drain, the regulator section adjusts between 0.15 and 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), and an external round gauge on a MPa scale is fitted. The K suffix adds a reverse (check) valve, which holds downstream pressure if the upstream supply dips. Maximum working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and the unit operates from -5 to 70 C.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The G-series spans sizes 200 to 600 with ports from 1/8 to 1 in, and the catalogue lets you choose drain type, 40 um or 5 um filtration, gauge style and scale, and thread (PT as standard, with G and NPT available to order). At this size the filter-section bowl is polycarbonate. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so ask us to confirm datasheet and sizing figures for your application before ordering.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC G-series air-preparation data. The regulating band is set by the drain type: automatic and differential-pressure drains regulate 0.15 - 0.9 MPa, a manual drain regulates 0.05 - 0.9 MPa. Standard type, regulating 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi). The set has no separate bracket code — the two units couple together with their own mounting hardware. Flow curves, weight and outline dimensions are not published in our data set — ask us and we will confirm from the factory datasheet.
Model Code: Airtac B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC40010AC1WK
| GFC400 | G-series two-unit set, 400 body — sets the port range. |
|---|---|
| 10 | Port size PT3/8". This body offers 10 = PT3/8", 15 = PT1/2". |
| A | Drain: Automatic drain — this also sets the regulating band (0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi)). |
| (blank) | Standard type. Blank is standard, L is the low-pressure type. |
| (blank) | Pressure gauge fitted (blank). |
| C | Gauge shape: Round. C is round, F is square. |
| 1 | Gauge scale: MPa. 1 is MPa, 2 is psi, 3 is bar. |
| W | Filtering grade 5 µm. Only 40 µm (blank) and 5 µm (W) exist. |
| (blank) | PT thread. PT is the default; G is BSPP and T is NPT. |
| K | Reverse-flow (reflux) valve fitted. |
Field order is size, port, drain, type, gauge, shape, scale, grade, thread, reflux — there is no bracket position on a combination set. Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GFR400-10 filter regulator and GL400-10 lubricator.
Size Class & How It Differs From GC
- GFC200PT1/8" - PT1/4"
- GFC300PT1/4" - PT1/2"
- GFC400PT3/8" - PT1/2"
- GFC600PT3/4" - PT1"
A GFC is two units because filtering and regulating share one body. A GC is three separate units — filter, regulator and lubricator. Both filter, regulate and lubricate; the GFC is the shorter assembly, the GC keeps the filter and regulator serviceable as separate bodies.

Where the Airtac B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC40010AC1WK Is Used
Robotic welding cell
Feeds filtered, regulated and lubricated air to weld-tip clamps and valve manifolds on a spot-welding robot; the 5 um element protects the solenoid valves and the check valve holds the circuit if supply pressure dips.
Bottling-plant palletiser
Supplies conditioned, lubricated air to the gripper cylinders and case diverters on a palletiser, with the automatic drain clearing bowl condensate without shutting the line down.
Injection moulding shop
Conditions the air feeding core-pull cylinders and ejector valves on injection moulding machines, where steady regulation and an oil mist help extend seal and valve life.
Is the Airtac B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC40010AC1WK the Right Set?
Work through the code from left to right: size 400 with a 3/8 in PT port sits mid-range in the G-series, so step up to 600 or down to 300 or 200 if your line's air demand points that way. Flow is published as curves, not a single number, so let us check the curve against your demand before you order. The automatic drain suits unattended or hard-to-reach installations; manual and differential-pressure drains are catalogue alternatives. Choose the 5 um element when feeding solenoid valves or precision actuators, and stay with 40 um for general protection. The round MPa gauge is external; square gauges and psi or bar scales are other options, and G or NPT threads can be ordered in place of the standard PT.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (PT3/8" here)
- ✓ Element 40 µm or 5 µm
- ✓ Drain sets the regulating band
- ✓ Gauge fitted, shape and scale
- ✓ Two-unit (GFC) or three-unit (GC) layout
- ✓ Oil mist acceptable downstream
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Install with the airflow arrow: filter regulator first, lubricator last.
- check Mount vertically, bowls down.
- check Keep inlet pressure at or below 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
- check Adjust only within 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
- check Drain condensate before the bowl fills; check the oil level.
- check Keep the set above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
The PC bowls must not be cleaned with solvents — wipe them with a dry cloth. The lubricator adds an oil mist downstream, so if any branch must stay oil-free, take that branch off before the lubricator or use a GFR400-10 filter regulator on its own.
Airtac B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC40010AC1WK FAQ
AirTAC publishes G-series flow as performance curves, not as a single rated figure, so we do not quote one number. Tell us your working pressure and expected air demand and we will confirm the sizing from the datasheet on request.
It selects the 5 um filter element instead of the standard 40 um grade. Choose 5 um when downstream solenoid valves or precision actuators need finer protection; 40 um remains the standard choice for general-purpose lines.
